Abstract
Techniques are described for restricting the use of electricity at a service site that is “restricted,” such as for non-payment. A threshold value is set, indicating a maximum rate of electricity usage. The threshold value may be set based in part on an ambient temperature or to exclude the use of certain appliances, such as air conditioners. In example operation, it is determined that a consumption level at the service site exceeds the threshold value. Accordingly, electricity is turned off at the service site. After a period of time, that allows customers to turn off one or more appliances, electricity is restored to the customer's service site, and a second consumption level is determined. It is determined if the second consumption level exceeds the second threshold level. If the second consumption level exceeds the second threshold value, then the service is again shut off.
